Even though all environment variables are (afaik) set up correctly, and
fcitx is working in all other programs, it does not work in emacs GUI
mode. It works fine if I start emacs in the terminal. I compiled emacs
myself using the Gentoo ebuild.
I would be very thankful for any suggestions. Currently I believe it is
a bug in emacs (?).

By the "GUI mode" do you mean 'emacs' vs 'emacs -nw'? Or do you mean
that the you use a different kind of launcher?

If you evaluate (getenv "XMODIFIERS") do you get the expected value?
Does evaluating (setenv "XMODIFIERS" "@im=fcitx") help?

Sorry for being imprecise. Indeed I mean 'emacs -Q' vs 'emacs -Q -nw'
> If you evaluate (getenv "XMODIFIERS") do you get the expected value?

(getenv "XMODIFIERS") returns in "@im=fcitx" for both modes ("emacs -Q"
and "emacs -Q -nw"). Running a further (setenv "XMODIFIERS" "@im=fcitx")
does not make any difference.
Note that if I press the Ctrl-Space key (which should change the fcitx
input method) "emacs -Q" reports "Mark set" and "Mark deactivated",
while for "emacs -Q -nw" the input method is changed correctly (i.e. I
can input Chinese characters thereafter).
Thanks for your help.

Ok, I see that according to Bug#10867, it should work with your setup.
Have you ever got it working with older Emacs versions?
I guess you've also verified that 'locale -a' shows 'zh_CN.UTF-8'? I'm
afraid I don't know how to troubleshoot this any further.

Yeah, I guess for 'emacs -nw' it's really the terminal program that
handles the input method, Emacs doesn't know anything about it.

etc/PROBLEMS mentions an issue with fcitx; could this be the same or similar
issue?

'locale -a' shows zh_CN.utf8. However, starting emacs
"LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.utf8 emacs -Q" does not make any difference and as far
as I understand zh_CN.utf8 and h_CN.UTF-8 should be equivalent (?).
This was working on another system (based on Ubuntu) with version
24.5.1. Currently I'm on Gentoo and was not able to get it working with
both emacs 25 and emacs 24. (I attach the USE flags at the end of this
mail.)

Yes, that would make sense.

The issue in etc/PROBLEMS seems to be the inverse of the problem that I
am experiencing. In etc/PROBLEMS, the problem is that C-SPC is captured
by fcitx and emacs does not receive the C-SPC command. However for me, I
want C-SPC to be intercepted by fcitx to change the layout instead of
emacs handling the key. Currently in all other programs C-SPC correctly
switches the layout (i.e. is intercepted by fcitx), however in "emacs
-Q" the key is intercepted by emacs.
The current behavior of emacs is essentially the same as what #10867
describes to happen if LC_CTYPE is not "zh_CN.UTF-8", though in my case
LC_CTYPE seems to be set correctly. So it seems there is some other
bug(/error in my configuration) that prevents emacs from supporting X
input method (?).

Hi,
I came across this bug report as I was having the same problem, and I
also thought there was a bug in Emacs, as fcitx5 works great everywhere
else.
Note I'm using fcitx5 so it may not be exactly the same for you.

Apparently these settings should be enough for every application to
work, but when it doesn't work on some application, there is a bigger
hole you have to dig into than simply looking at whether the environment
variables are set properly - because they are, and Emacs respected it, fcitx5
just didn't work in Emacs due to other reasons.
You have to fully utilize `fcitx5-diagnose` to see what is wrong.
1. Open a subshell within Emacs, run `fcitx5-remote` to see if fcitx5 is
surely not enabled.
2. Run `fcitx5-diagnose` in the subshell *and* outside Emacs (in a
regular terminal), compare the results, look for errors
I also got help from the fcitx5 maintainer:
https://github.com/fcitx/fcitx5/issues/402
Anyways at the end of the day I'm using fcitx5 in Emacs, so I believe this bug
report should be closed.

Hi,
I came across this bug report as I was having the same problem, and I
also thought there was a bug in Emacs, as fcitx5 works great everywhere
else.
Note I'm using fcitx5 so it may not be exactly the same for you.

Apparently these settings should be enough for every application to
work, but when it doesn't work on some application, there is a bigger
hole you have to dig into than simply looking at whether the environment
variables are set properly - because they are, and Emacs respected it, fcitx5
just didn't work in Emacs due to other reasons.
You have to fully utilize `fcitx5-diagnose` to see what is wrong.
1. Open a subshell within Emacs, run `fcitx5-remote` to see if fcitx5 is
surely not enabled.
2. Run `fcitx5-diagnose` in the subshell *and* outside Emacs (in a
regular terminal), compare the results, look for errors
I also got help from the fcitx5 maintainer:
https://github.com/fcitx/fcitx5/issues/402
Anyways at the end of the day I'm using fcitx5 in Emacs, so I believe this bug
report should be closed.
